Update on my need for superglue...

[bex1984]

Went to the clear round jumping with Murphy last night - the first time we have ever "gone out" jumping anywhere...


I didn't fall off!! And I didn't even use superglue/gaffa tape to hold myself on!

AND we got a clear round, woohoo!!!

I was convinced we were going to refuse all the jumps (especially when he refused the jump in the warm-up on the first attempt

), and I was going to end up on the floor, but Murphy was an absolute star, he was perfectly behaved and popped round the little course (1ft cross poles

) with no problems

I know they were really tiny jumps so it doesn't sound like much, but it's quite an achievement for me and the hairy pony

Will put pics in PG later

Well done, doesn't matter how big or small the fences are you went out and did it, good for you........

WOOHOO! Go you!
Wanna see some pics

Love Murphy, he's such a dude.

Well done

Its not the height of the fences that counts, its the fact you had the guts to go out and do them at all. Well done you (and Murphy)!

So when are you going again?

yeah I am so very very pleased for you both I was thinking of you last night wondering how you'd got on. So I guess it is my turn to pluck up the courage next, it doesn't matter about the size of the jumps, I know what a big deal it is going 'out' jumping and doing a whole round.

Woohoo! I'm so pleased for you as I remember seeing how worried you were on your post yesterday. Next time out it will seem much less scary and you will soon get the competition bug

Well done you. The height doesn't matter i bet they seemed a lot higher to you. You did well going out and doing it. Well done.

Oh well done, it doesnt matter how big or small the jump is, it still takes courage to fly through the air like that - you should be very proud of yourself and Murphy.
